    'Barbie' buzz likely just a flash in the pan for toymaker Mattel
    The fanfare around Margot Robbie-starrer "Barbie" could jolt the iconic Mattel doll's sales out of a year-long slump, but Wall Street thinks the party in pink will be short-lived. While Mattel will report second-quarter results on Wednesday, days after the theatrical release of the movie, analysts say the boost for Barbie sales will be most pronounced in the quarter ending Sept. 29 before tapering off. The company will likely get a small cut of the movie's box-office innings, though the biggest benefit is expected to come from toy sales following the marketing blitz around its release.  ( 7 min )

    Futures edge up ahead of more Big Tech earnings, Fed decision
    The centerpiece event of the week is the Fed's policy meeting, with the central bank expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq has rallied 34% so far this year, outperforming its Wall Street peers, as rate-sensitive megacap growth companies jumped on hopes that the Fed's aggressive rate hike cycle will end soon and optimism over artificial intelligence.  ( 7 min )

    Sirius XM shares pull back after 'wild' gains with short squeeze in focus
    Shares in Sirius XM Holdings were down 10.5% on Friday, erasing some of their dramatic gains in the previous day's session with analysts attributing the volatility to a short squeeze, as well as a rebalance of the Nasdaq 100. U.S. satellite and online radio company, Sirius XM, which is majority owned by Liberty Media, last traded at $6.99 after closing up 42% at $7.81 on Thursday for its biggest one-day percentage gain since March 2009. Analytics firm Ortex estimates that 34% of Sirius's publicly available shares are sold short, where bearish investors borrow shares to sell them "short" with the aim of buying them back at a lower price to repay the debt and pocket the difference.  ( 7 min )

    Fed's last rate hike coming at July meeting, economists say
    The U.S. Federal Reserve will raise its benchmark overnight interest rate by 25 basis points to the 5.25%-5.50% range on July 26, according to all 106 economists polled by Reuters, with a majority still saying that will be the last increase of the current tightening cycle. A resilient economy and historically low unemployment well over a year since the Fed began one of its most aggressive rate hiking campaigns in history has repeatedly confounded analysts and investors. Inflation is falling, with the headline consumer price index (CPI) measure slowing to 3.0% in June from 4.0% in May. That led many observers on Wall Street to conclude inflation might soon be tamed, prompting some to renew bets that rate cuts could happen by as soon as the end of 2023.  ( 7 min )

    TSMC Q2 earnings seen down 27% y/y, Q3 looks better
    Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC is expected to report a 27% fall in second-quarter net profit on Thursday, as global economic woes dent demand for semiconductors, though analysts say business performance is likely to improve in the current quarter.

The forecast decline in profit partly reflects a robust performance in the previous year, when the company was still riding high on pent-up post-pandemic demand.  ( 7 min )

    US sues 'consent farm' operator for 'massive' telemarketing deception
    The U.S. government on Monday sued a New York-based company for allegedly operating a so-called "massive 'consent farm' enterprise" to trick nearly 1 million people a day into providing personal information and consent to receive telemarketing calls. Fluent LLC was accused of having since 2011 used deceptive ads and websites to promise free rewards, including from familiar brands such as Amazon and Walmart, that were impossible to obtain, and interviews for jobs that did not exist. The Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission said Fluent's true purpose was to sell "leads" to telemarketers that later inundated consumers with robocalls, texts and emails about auto warranties, debt reduction, for-profit education, pain cream, solar energy and other products and services.  ( 6 min )

    China's economy grew at a frail pace in the second quarter, although the annual figure was flattered by base effects, data showed on Monday, with overall momentum faltering rapidly due to weakening demand at home and abroad.

Fed policymakers opted last month to forego a rate increase to give themselves time to assess the still-developing effects of the previous hikes in borrowing costs, even as most also penciled in at least two more increases by the end of 2023.  ( 7 min )

    'Chinese storm' looming over Europe's EV sector, Renault chairman warns
    AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France (Reuters) - A "Chinese storm" is looming over Europe's growing electric vehicle (EV) sector, Renault Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard told Reuters on Saturday, as Asia's superpower dominates key raw materials to make batteries for zero emission cars.

"When I talk about a Chinese storm, I'm talking about the strong pressure today related to Chinese (electric) vehicle imports into Europe," Senard said.  ( 6 min )

    Rivian must face lawsuit claiming it defrauded IPO investors over vehicle prices
    A federal judge said Rivian Automotive must face a lawsuit claiming it defrauded shareholders during and after its blockbuster 2021 initial public offering by concealing that had underpriced its electric vehicles, leading to unpopular price hikes. U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton in Los Angeles said shareholders could try to prove that Rivian, which is not profitable, knew it would have to raise prices on its R1S SUV and R1T pickup truck because of higher materials costs, to avoid even bigger losses. Rivian's share price slid 39% over 10 days after the Irvine, California-based company on March 1, 2022 raised the R1S price to $84,500 from $70,000 and the R1T price to $79,500 from $67,500, angering customers on social media and elsewhere.  ( 7 min )

    Some Federal Reserve officials pushed to raise the Fed’s key interest rate by one-quarter of a percentage point at their meeting last month to fight high inflation, though the central bank ultimately decided to forgo a rate hike. In the end, the 11 voting members of the Fed’s interest-rate setting committee agreed unanimously to skip a hike after 10 straight increases. In Fed parlance, “some” is less than “most” or “many,” evidence that the support for another rate hike was a minority view.  ( 6 min )

While "some participants" wanted to move ahead with a rate hike in June because progress in cooling inflation had been slow, "almost all participants judged it appropriate or acceptable to maintain" the federal funds rate at the existing 5% to 5.25%, the minutes said.

    China's chipmaking export curbs 'just a start', Beijing adviser warns before Yellen visit

    EXPLAINER-U.S. yield curve hits deepest inversion since 1981: What is it telling us?
    Expectations of another rate hike by the Federal Reserve to tame stubbornly high inflation helped push a closely watched part of the U.S. Treasury yield curve to its deepest inversion since 1981 on Monday, once again putting a spotlight on what many investors consider a time-honored recession signal. The U.S. central bank has hiked interest rates aggressively over the last year to fight inflation that hit around 40-year highs and remains above its 2% target rate. The yield curve inverts when shorter-dated Treasuries have higher returns than longer-term ones.  ( 8 min )

Western punishments over Russia's invasion of Ukraine have shifted global trade flows for its top export, with India emerging as the largest buyer of seaborne Russian oil even as it casts about for how to pay for it amid shifting sanctions. The U.S. dollar has long been the main global oil currency, including for purchases by India, but now the yuan is playing an increasingly important role in Russia's financial system because Moscow has been frozen out of the dollar and euro financial networks by international sanctions.  ( 9 min )

    Panasonic needs four more EV battery plants, executive says
    The battery arm of Japan's Panasonic will need to build around four more factories to meet a plan to sharply boost annual capacity of batteries for electric vehicles by 2031, its head of technology told Reuters. The comments from Panasonic Energy Chief Technology Officer Shoichiro Watanabe mark the first time the Telsa supplier has given a clear indication of the number of additional factories it will need. It could also fuel expectations of more investment by Japanese companies into the United States, after Washington and Tokyo struck a deal in March that is key to giving Japanese manufacturers wider access to U.S. electric-vehicle (EV) tax credits.  ( 7 min )

    Oil giants drill deep as profits trump climate concerns
    Oil and gas companies have intensified the hunt for new deposits in a long-term bet on demand, as they reinvest some of the record profits from the fossil fuel price surge driven by the Ukraine war, according to data and industry executives. The exploration revival - on the part of European majors in particular - reflects a renewed commitment to oil and gas after Shell and BP went back on pledges to reduce output and invest in renewables as part of the energy transition. It responds to pressure from a majority of investors to maximise their oil and gas profits rather than invest in lower margin renewable energy businesses.  ( 9 min )

    Analysis-Bond markets reckon a central bank policy error is on the cards
    Bond investors could be in luck for the rest of 2023 if market indicators signalling central banks will take policy tightening too far and tip their economies into recession prove accurate.

Canada resumed tightening and Britain and Norway made big moves in June, while U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank officials at last week's Sintra forum signalled more rate hikes.  ( 8 min )

    Marketmind: Tesla delivers surprise, China goes slow
    The big question for the day is how will investors greet Tesla's announcement on Sunday that it delivered a record 466,000 vehicles in the second quarter, topping market estimates of around 445,000. Back in the real world, China's Caixin/S&P Global survey of manufacturing showed a slowdown to 50.5 in June, but that was not as bad as the 50.2 feared. The People's Bank of China again pushed back on a weaker yuan by fixing the currency well above expectations, but these official fixings are having less and less of an impact in the market and offshore dealers are testing to see if Chinese banks actually sell dollars to support the yuan.  ( 7 min )

    Yen weak, dollar drifts as traders weigh Fed rate hike path

The yen weakened 0.03% to 144.38 per dollar in early Asian hours to kick start the second half of the year having dropped 9% against the dollar in the first six months of the year.

Fears of a further slowdown hurting fuel demand grew after data on Friday showed U.S. inflation still outpacing the central bank's 2% target and stoked expectations it would hike interest rates again.  ( 7 min )

    US chicken producers ordered to face price-fixing claims
    A federal judge on Friday said Pilgrim's Pride, Sanderson Farms, Tyson Foods and several other companies must face private antitrust litigation accusing them of conspiring to inflate broiler chicken prices by reducing supply. Restaurants, supermarkets, distributors and consumers have accused chicken producers of having conspired starting in 2008 to inflate prices, through tactics such as restricting production and sharing nonpublic data about supply and demand. In a 90-page decision, U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin in Chicago said reasonable jurors could find it more likely than not that Pilgrim's Pride, Sanderson and Tyson conspired to fix prices.  ( 7 min )

    BNSF Railway wins new trial over $228 million jury award in biometric data case
    A U.S. judge on Friday ordered a new trial on damages against BNSF Railway in a privacy class action, in a ruling that wiped out an award of $228 million to truck drivers who accused the freight railway giant of unlawfully collecting their fingerprints. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly in Illinois upheld a jury's liability verdict that BNSF had violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, which imposes restrictions on the collection and use of personal information such as retinal scans and fingerprints. But Kennelly said damages under the biometric law were discretionary, and so "BNSF is entitled to have a jury determine the appropriate amount of damages."  ( 6 min )

    Coca-Cola to see less pain from looming WHO decision on aspartame - analysts

Such a classification of the popular additive in July by the World Health Organization's cancer research arm could cause consumers, food companies, retailers and restaurants to decide whether to fight back or find alternatives. But for Coca-Cola, whose low-calorie products accounted for a third of its total volumes sold in 2022, analysts said switching to a natural sweetener could be easier than many other companies that use aspartame.  ( 7 min )

    Biden's student loan defeat adds to headwinds for US economy
    The U.S. Supreme Court's striking down of President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan puts nearly half a trillion dollars of debt back on household balance sheets, a burden that combined with the end of a pandemic-era pause in payments on education loans may hasten an anticipated year-end economic slowdown. The court's 6-3 ruling on Friday, widely expected to go against Biden, comes just weeks after the White House and congressional Republicans struck a deal to lift the federal debt ceiling that included prohibiting any further extensions of the student debt payment hiatus put in place in early 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Education Department last week said loan payments would resume in October.  ( 8 min )
